    I would be FURIOUS and would definitely throw the food out, I wouldn't trust her for a second. What she has done is a total breach of trust. How dare she. I have a DD with allergies and NO ONE and I mean no one, should play about with allergies. What if she reacted badly to something she's feeding her, would she know what to do?
    Good luck, I feel for you, it's a hard thing to bring up , hope it all works out for you xoxo

    TBH, this is why I never let my mother babysit DS because she wanted to do this. Get a better babysitter and explain it's because you just can't trust her. Maybe if she earns your trust then you'll consider letting her have time alone with Olive, but not now.

    Then again, we have allergies too so I'm really strict with food.

    Yeah, go with the MCHN angle only a bit thicker with out telling a lie. Especially with the allergies.
    Also say when you speak to her that you are not being disreapectful but you need to consider your DD's well being before anything.
    Also ask her that if she knows she is feeding her the wrong foods why is she doing it? If she cannot come up with a good answer then tell her that until you can trust her to feed Olive as you have asked you will not be leaving her in her care. it's then out in the open and it's also up to her how she reacts.
    All the best.
